My condolences to the entire Thomas Family.  Thank you for allowing me to share in his presence for so many years.  How do you say goodbye to someone who has played such a  huge role in your life and has contributed to the person I am today.  He taught me everything I know about the business. Discipline, persistence, follow thru, the importance of honesty and being a man of your word., everything you prided yourself on being.  Good times and bad times, rolling with punches.  Not only were you my boss and mentor, you were my friend.  Thank you for all that you have done for me and my family.    May you rest in peace.

My condolences to the entire Thomas family.     I met Willie in 1988 and he became my surety client in 1996.   From day one he was so special and different.  Everything he did was in a giving way; he had such a big heart.  I believe the best thing of Willie is how he believed in people and wanted the best for them.      One day, while visiting him in Alabama,  I got inducted into the  group from his youth called "The Village Swompers".    I remember how much fun Willie had telling mischievous stories about the group of which he was the leader.  Willie should know, while up in heaven, that he was the Number One Village Swomper!!!

I met Mr Thomas through his daughter, Latonya, my friend.  From the very beginning it was nothing less than him showing much love to me and my other half at that time. This man has inspired me from one end of the globe to the next. I had the pleasure of meeting him in person only once (God, if I could turn back the hands of time I would’ve attended the last Xmas party he gave).  I was blessed to have had a couple of phone conversations with him and Tonya. He was a big inspiration in my life, always leaving  you with fruitful advice that you could apply to your everyday life.  It was an honor to know him and to his entire family YOU ALL can walk with your heads held high and chest out, he was a STAND UP & WELL RESPECTED MAN!!! 

God had other plans for him and they were too big to be done here on earth.

Praying for the entire family and a special prayer for my friend Tonya, love you lady!!

The entire Cain family want to extend our deepest condolences to you Josefina and your family on the passing of Willie. He was a man of faith, integrity and honesty. We will miss him as a friend and as a demolition contractor. He was an Icon in the industry and I'm fairly sure he's already sitting in at the round table of demolition contractor's that have preceded him.

Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,

For the lesson thou hast taught!

Thus at the flaming forge of life

Our fortunes must be wrought;

Thus on its sounding anvil shaped

Each burning deed and thought!

The last verse of the Village Blacksmith By Ralph Waldo Henderson.

Poem by Mary Nell Thomas

Willie A Thomas

Willie A Thomas (may his blessings increase)

Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,

And saw, within the moonlight in his room,

Making it rich, like a lily in bloom. 

An angel writing in a book of gold --

Exceeding peace made Willie Thomas bold.

And to the presence of the room he said,

"What writest thou?" - The vision raised its head.

And with a look made of all sweet accord,

Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."

"And is mine one?" said Willie.  "Nay, not so,"

Replied the angel.  Willie spoke more low.

But cheerily still he said, "I pray thee then,

Write me as one that loves his fellow men."

The angel wrote, and vanished.  The next night

It came again with a great awakening light,

And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,

And lo, Willie Thomas' name led all the rest.
